Las Orquídeas National Natural Park

Antioquia, Colombia

Las Orquídeas National Natural Park (Parque Nacional Natural Las Orquídeas or PNN Las Orquídeas) is a national park in the Cordillera Occidental, Colombia. Established in 1974, the park encompasses 287.53 km2 (111.02 mi2) on the western slopes of Colombia's Cordillera Occidental. The park covers a large elevational range (300–3, 450 m). The climate is generally humid with an annual rainfall of 3,000-4,000 mm, dropping to 2,500 mm at highest elevations, and ranges from tropical lowland to alpine. The range in elevation and climate creates a diversity of plant communities, including lowland rainforest (ca. 300–1, 000 m), premontane forest (ca. 1, 000–2, 000 m), montane forest (ca. 2, 000–3, 200 m), and high-elevation páramo grassland (ca. 3, 200–3, 450 m).
